the winter months than in summer.

A winter visitant ; usually of uncommon occurrence, but 
occasionally more plentiful. During the winter of 1875-6

Musquash on August 31, 1880, and several persons residing 
near that locality told him the owl had been observed con- 
tinually in the vicinity of one piece of marsh land for four or 
five years. Mr. Vanwart, of Jemseg, also reports one 
spending the summer near his farm.
